Like hide here..... A &..behind this rock sticking up.  Ok.....everyone, hot cocoa... and back to work. The party is over....sooooooooo..........

GOOD MORNING England..America...and all those in the world.... How's things going?

(That was my "one-liner" for Diana)

I now see Christmas has arrived in the deptament stores...I see an modge podge of an bit of everything. I see that there appears to be no main theme this year but an custom sort of thing going on I guess. So if there's an hot item.. "gotta have" this year..let me know will you. I must get into sewing these PJ's for the grandson also. Maybe next week, we have massive rain coming here from what they are saying...forget the showers...weather is settin in for autumn. I'm off..see what I can get into for the day...all week its not been an good time to go very far, and they arranged ibabysitting for the next couple of days, so I might take advantage of it. Catch you all later on.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I adore Christmas and I too start getting excited when I see Christmas stuff out in the stores. But before Halloween? I'd like to enjoy the build up to Thanksgiving first.

Thanksgiving (Harvest Festival) here includes fruit and flowers (Marrows and Michaelmas daisy for example) the Churches are 'decorated' with the fruit of the earth Krissy, obviously not quite the same in the US/UK?

And doesn't your period of Thanksgiving begin early November or am I wrong about this?

Oh I see Ron! That sounds like a nice tradition!! Our Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday of November.  Families get together and have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner...turkey, stuffing, veggies, mashed potatos, cranberry sauce...a huge feast mostly....then football after! LOL!!
